Canadians spend More Money On Motion Pictures ;

OTTAWA. (CF) - Canadians spent more money on motion pic- ture entertainment last year. the per capita expenditure averaging 348.30 compared with 58.21 in 1852 and only 56.15 in 1946.

The bureau of statistics report- ed Monday that Ontario. where television was most highly de- veloped in 1953, was the only province where spending was lower. British Columbia replaced Ontario as the. province with the highest average expenditure on movies. its per capita spending rising to 510.56 from 59.94. Spending in other provinces. with 1952 averages in brackets: Alberta 59.75 (58.87). Ontario 59.67

(510.06), Manitoba 57.74 (5731). Nova Scotia 7.35 156.51); Sask- aichewan 57.07 (56.75). Quebec

37 (56.99), New Brunswick 55.02 (5.32). Prince Edward Island 54.06 (84.01). Newfoundland 54.03 (S390). The average admission price. including taxes. in regular theat- res was 47 cents and ranged from a high of 53 ln'Qiiebec to I low of 37 in Newfoundland.

Comments On Cause of Crash

TORONTO (GP) - Gordon Mc- Gregor. Trans-Canada Air Lines presxdent. said Monday it is "high- ly unlikely" a defective altimeter was responsible for the crash 10 days ago of a. TCA Super-Consteb latioii.

The huge plane came down in a farmer's field near Brampton. Ont.. about 20 miles northwest of To- ronto. All 23 aboard fled to safety moments before the wreckage burst into flames.

Mr. MoGregor said the cause of the crash still is a. mystery and will likely remain so for some time. He said a theory the pilot's alti- meter stuck when the plane was at 2,000 feet was unlikely because there are other altimeters in the cockpit which function independ- ently.

Mr. McGregor said a fomial in- quiry into the crash has been post- poned until pilot Norman Ramsay returns from two weeks sick leave in Vancouver.

Battle Huge Oil Well Blaze

LEIDUC. Alta. (GP)-A specially- erected drilling rig began cutting through the cement of an aban-

continued their battle to control an oil and natural-gas fi e burning wildly for nearly a week.

The abandoned we... case to the bumlng hole. will be extended be- yond its 8.600-foot depth to the un- derground pool, mother 1,800 feet down. from which nearly 1.000 bar- rels of crude oil and 1.000.000 cubic feet of gas have been lost in flames since the well exploded last Tuesday night.

Water probably will be pumped down the extended hole in an ef- fort to flood out the oil and gas. making it possible to seal off the burning well.
